A facile synthesis of cysteine-based diketopiperazine from thiol-protected precursor

l-Cysteine is one of the most promising biomass-based building blocks with great potential applications. Herein, we report a versatile synthetic route to produce cysteine-based 2,5-diketopiperazine (DKP) with good yield from the thiol-ene click reaction of l-cysteine and commercially available acryl...
